Sleep is flakey on these machines anyway - or, at least, it was in 10.2. The first peripheral I ever bought for my Mac was a USB floppy drive. After it was connected, the machine would crash every time it went into sleep. At this time, the floppy drive was the *only* piece of third party hardware connected, and the machine was under warranty. I called Apple, and explained the problem - their solution? Just plug in the floppy drive when I wanted to use it.

I disabled sleep and have never re-enabled it.

-Ian

Same on 10.3.9

I just set the screen saver to come on and then the monitor to go to sleep.

Hey it wouldn't be computing without problems

.

The colloquy chat client seems to lock up quite regularly at the moment, I have the console window up but there is nothing in it, eventually I have to force quit the application, any ideas?

And yes, the mac will soon be running 10.5

As soon as my 8GB USB stick arrives

...well that is the plan anyway.

Running Colloquy 2.3 build 4617 7x24 for weeks, no issue.

that sounds about average for a typical computer, no idea if the PM MDD is supposed to run hotter or cooler than that though

On my xw9300 each processor is typically at about 50 degrees C, a little lower when idle.

Does the powermac G4 have fast fan? Because it is a convection system so I reckon it uses a steady flow of air.

The big fan (120x120x38) is not the noisest one. If you rpoblem is noise, you have to change the two delta in the psu.
But all them change rpm on temperature basis.

This may be a bit of a stupid question, but I cannot find opera on the opera site, I am after version 9.

I was trying opera 10.53 in my ppc mac yesterday and it is tremendous slow, even slower than 10.10 which I stopped using since safari 4 PPC is way faster.

I guess Opera will be dropping support for ppc very soon, Solaris was shafted a few days ago btw.

I had that issue before, some DMGs are weird, I had to use my newest OS X and convert it to a DMG again and then it worked, shrug, stupid formats are stupid.

Ah, I see, nevermind, I have Opera working again

. Just in case anyone was interested, I am running Opera version 10.0. Not version 9.00 as previously stated.

Is it any good though, the opitmised firefox?
